I had fast-growth in my business because I believed that my spirituality is leading the way.

What happens when soul decides the path you’re walking isn’t the one that’s right for you?

When Michelle Sorro attended a Tony Robbins’ Date With Destiny event, it was her intention to take her TV career to the next level. But instead of unlocking clarity on how to evolve her TV segment, soul had different plans. On her knees and heart cracked open, Michelle realized her purpose was something else entirely.

As a result, Michelle switched gears and followed her intuition to become a heart-centred leader on a mission to empower millions to be seen and heard. Today, Michelle teaches coaches, trainers, and experts how to start and scale an authentic, online presence by getting out of their comfort zone so they can create a life of greater fulfilment.

Michelle is also the host of The Fire and Soul podcast, a Top 10 in Self-Development. Her guests have included global game-changers such as Jack Canfield, Panache Desai, Dave Asprey, Danielle LaPorte, Alison Armstrong, Jairek Robbins, Joseph McClendon III, and many more. Michelle is also a published author on the topic of gratitude, she’s meditated with the Dalai Lama, and literally walked on fire!

In this beautiful, heart-led episode, you’ll hear Michelle and I talk about:

1. What does heart-based leadership mean?
2. How do you really get out of your comfort zone?
3. Why perfectionism is another form of procrastination and how the antidote for fear is action.
4. A simple practice to transmute your feelings and emotions.
5. A method to discern between fear and desire.
6. The spiritual importance of sitting with the stillness of your heart
7. And more!

If you know it’s time to drop the hustle, trust your intuition, and take a more patient path through life, this episode will give you plenty to think about.

EP 134 I’m living a life that I absolutely love. I’m surrounded by a tribe of people that I absolutely love, just simply because I started with the, “What if?”

Rob was an abandoned child. As a baby, he was raised by his four-year-old sister until a white, Mormon family adopted them both. Raised by a loving family in a predominantly middle-class white community, Rob endured racial abuse. He was spat on, called names, and beat up. The feeling of not belonging would not go away. He eventually found an outlet for his anger and confusion in sport. On the court or field, race and color didn’t matter and after achieving a scholarship to play football at Utah, he thought his life would start working out. But despite being around black people for the first time, he still didn’t fit in.

Rob sunk into a dark depression and began fantasizing about how he’d end his life. He hit rock bottom in his mid-30s when everything fell apart. His marriage ended, his start-up failed, and he was done with the pain. But something told him to put down the gun…

Rob’s suicide attempt became a powerful catalyst that turned his life around. By deciding he wanted to live, Rob discovered the strength to embrace his blank canvas. At the time, he had no idea who he was, but he was committed to figuring it out.

Trauma makes your scope narrow; healing creates a new perspective that brings forth better opportunities and options. Free of dogma and the need to fulfil family traditions, Rob was able to define himself. In the process, he discovered his dream career, his purpose, and a sense of belonging. Now, Rob is an empowerment coach who works off feeling and intuition; truly identifying where his clients want to go and what they want to accomplish. He calls his work Warrior Work, which is all about identifying who you truly are.

Rob’s story is a powerful reminder that where you start doesn’t have to be where you end up. It’s a story of courage, commitment, and a passion to create an extraordinary life – even when everything is stacked against you. Rob’s story is an inspiration to me, and I’m sure it will be an inspiration to you too.

Tune in now to hear us discuss:

1. What it feels like to NOT belong.
2. The catalyst that inspired Rob to change his life.
3. How to balance radical self-responsibility with an appreciation of your life’s context.
4. Powerful options for letting go of negative energy.
5. The difference between flow and passion.
6. How Rob figured out who he really was.
7. Rage, the call for equality, and channelling collective anger at these times
8. Rob’s definition of purpose.
9. Tips for unlayering the need to belong.
10. And more…

EP. 133 Nobody ever taught me how to be human. They taught me how to be a warrior, they taught me how to be a gladiator, they taught me how to not cry, they taught me how to hurt people. It taught me a lot of stuff in my life. Nobody ever taught me how to be human.

Like you, we’ve been moved and enraged by the racism and brutality experienced by our Black brothers and sisters. To show our support and solidarity with Black America, we’re committed to sharing their voices and stories with you. To kick-start this effort, we’re replaying one of our most popular interviews.

This conversation with Andre Norman first aired in 2019. It’s an incredible story of beating the odds and the system to create extraordinary impact.

The US has one of the largest prison populations in the world with around 1 in 100 Americans in jail. According to 2014 NAACP statistics, African Americans accounted for a disproportionate 34% of the total prison population. It’s a shocking fact that the Black community is incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites.

Andre Norman was one of those statistics.

Rewind two decades and not only was Andre serving a 100-year prison sentence, he also ran all the gang activity in the prison. You could say jail was his destiny. As a kid, he felt unwanted and with the system against him too, Andre never saw his potential. Seeing no other option, Andre followed a life fuelled by drugs, alcohol, depression, self-harming, and ultimately crime.

Prison is supposed to be a correctional facility, but most prisoners aren’t ‘corrected’. Prison rarely changes people at a core level. Instead, it compounds their anger, frustration, and trauma, which is what makes Andre’s story of transformation and learning how to be human so remarkable.

Andre was freed after serving 14 years inside and his life today couldn’t be more different. He’s now on a mission to teach individuals and corporations how to turn any situation around and his innovative strategies against gang activity have helped tackle inmate violence and improve correctional facilities across the U.S.

So tune in now and hear us talk about:

• The conditions that led to Andre’s incarceration
• How gratitude for rock bottom experiences helps you walk the extraordinary path through life
• The real definition of freedom – and why most people aren’t as free as they think
• Why you need to take small steps today to actualize the person you want to be in the future
• The insanely valuable lessons he’d teach his 26-year-old self
• Why Andre believes his curses allow him to help people
• The only way to fail
• Andre’s prison program and how it’s changing lives
• And more…

Andre overcame everything from poverty to drugs to prison. He’s now an international speaker and a Harvard Fellow – proof that the odds are always beatable.

EP. 132 Confidence is simple. It’s not loud, it’s not anything that can be defined by a particular skill or personality type. It’s simply this: the willingness to experience negative emotion

How much of your vision for life is impacted by what others say or think about you? How often do you hold yourself back or talk yourself out of taking action because your confidence lets you down?

Who could you be, what could you have, and where would you go if you could create approval from within and create a story that showered you with positivity, freedom, and relentless joy?

This episode’s guest is the incredible Susie Moore – and she dances in this creative, curious space every day! Susie believes that joyful, loving, connected people are POWERFUL. It’s why she says that her only obligation is to have a joyful life – and in doing so, she serves as an example to others of what a joyful life looks and feels like.

If you’re ready to be more confident [and feel more joyful in the process], this episode is for you.

Susie is a Miami-based life coach and author of Stop Checking Your Likes: Shake Off the Need for Approval and Live an Incredible Life. Susie’s been featured on everything from the Today show, to Refinery29, Forbes, Oprah.com and more. She has an infectious personality and a beautiful sense of humor which inspires joy just by being near her. Susie comes with a powerful message that reality is an interpretation and the truth is up to all of us. With that in mind, why wouldn’t you do everything in your power to create a life full of freedom and joy? Discover how in this episode when Susie and I explore:

1. The dangers of confusing approval with worthiness.
2. Why inner steadiness and approval must come from within.
3. The danger of looking for fulfilment outside of yourself.
4. What is freedom [and why our false beliefs make success fleeting].
5. Why the cause and effect model doesn’t work.
6. How to access your confidence in 7 seconds.
7. Why joy is undervalued as a superpower – even though it’s your secret weapon
8. And more!
